Because it's more liberal now and less stigma. Plus there's the internet where people can give reviews/tips regarding whore mongering and such so wouldn't that make it easier to whore....

So shouldn't it be higher? Even if the 69 % statistic was inaccurate, wouldn't today's rate be higher?

It's true that there's more casual sex available to men then 59 years ago but I don't think that by itself would drive the percentage down... ? I'm thinking because a lot of married men cheat they prefer hookers because it's quicker, more convenient, with a lesser chance of getting caught?
From your link (did you even read it?)
"During Kinsey's lifetime, the most damaging critique of his work focused on the sample of people he interviewed, which included large numbers of college students, prison inmates, and acknowledged homosexuals. If he oversampled in atypical populations and did not re-weight his results accordingly, then his numbers would be too high."

He used college students, prison inmates, and homosexuals.
1948, think about that date a bit, and ask yourself what the 20-30 year olds would have been doing in the last 9 years?
In case you forgot WWII was 39-45.
Then think about how that might effect the results. It doesnt take much to find articles about how men at war are far more likely to use hookers.

Not to mention who the fuck pays for sex when hitting the bar at 1:30am will land you some chick thats probably better looking then most hookers and almost guarranteed to be cleaner, where you would at least be the first fuck of the night. Casual sex is something that didnt happen back then that does now, and thats really been the last several years only too, and I suspect will only become more common here.
